Overview | |
Sporocarps gregarious or scattered. Sporotheca 0.25-0.4 mm diam., nut-brown or copper-coloured, often with lilaceous or purplish tints, to dark purplish brown. Stalk concolorous above, darker below, usually long, slender and tenuous, up to 90% of the total height, sometimes relatively short. Peridial cup usually well-developed, occupying 30-50% of the sporotheca, finely ribbed and dotted with dark calcic granules, the margin nearly even. Peridial net varying from open to rather close, the threads slender, with few free ends, the nodes large, thickened, rather flat and angular, calcic granules pallid to purplish brown, 0.3-1.5 µm diam. Spore-mass dull reddish or copper coloured. Spores pale, globose, nearly smooth, 6-7.5 µm diam. Plasmodium red or dingy purplish black.
